About the role

Our Account Executive role is a consultative, relationship-driven sales position for someone who loves owning the full sales cycle—from net-new prospecting through long-term account growth—and who thrives in both hunting and managing client relationships.

Responsibilities

  • Build a consistent prospecting cadence using cold calls, email, social outreach, networking, and in-person or virtual meetings to develop a strong pipeline.
  • Manage and grow a territory by balancing new business development, client retention, and account expansion.
  • Lead thoughtful discovery conversations to understand business goals, marketing challenges, and growth opportunities.
  • Create and present data-informed digital and traditional marketing proposals that connect strategy, tactics, and budget to client goals.
  • Own the full sales cycle—from initial outreach through close—while maintaining accurate CRM activity, pipeline management, and forecasting.
  • Partner with internal account management, creative, and strategy teams to support strong client outcomes.
  • Stay engaged post-sale through reporting, optimization, and performance conversations that support renewals and continued growth.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of B2B sales experience with success in new business development, account growth, or business development roles.
  • Ability to run a full-cycle, consultative sales process—from discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close.
  • Strong prospecting skills across phone, email, social, networking, and relationship-based outreach.
  • Experience using CRM and sales tools with disciplined pipeline management and follow-up.
  • Comfort learning and discussing digital marketing solutions such as search, social, display, and video (direct experience is a plus, not required).
  • Excellent communication skills, business curiosity, and the ability to build credibility with diverse clients and stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with CRM, Microsoft Office Suite, and AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity.
